@paul Interesting. I must confess I believed the story. I'm still going to ditch WA when I switch over to my new phone, though. I just don't trust their assurances. As the article states, they've lied so many times before. Also, if they're not going to datamine WA, then what did FB buy it for?

@paul Oh I'm sure they will be. But I don't think they'll be limiting themselves. I think they'll want as many options as possible so that if one becomes impossible or impractical, they can easily fall back to others.

But also, aside from Intel agencies, FB will want to mine whatever data they can. It's their entire business model. They simply HAVE to do it (from their point of view).
